Examination Methods
The exam consists of a test on theoretical and practical questions related to the course program, the bibliography and the didactic materials. Both the formulation of the questions and the answers will be made in writing and in Spanish. The test will consist of two parts:
Theoretical part: general theoretical considerations
Practical part: analysis of a short text with the objective of identifying the specific characteristics of the textual type to which it belongs and writing a type of text appropriate to the situation described in the statement of the exercise.
The grade will be determined by calculating the average between the score obtained in the linguistic competence (C1) and that obtained in the test of the subject. The results will be communicated through a notice published on the corresponding website ("Avvisi"). For students who do not attend class, the program and the form of evaluation are the same.
LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE REQUIRED:
Level 4 (ALTE), C1 (Council of Europe).
Assessment of linguistic competence will be on the grounds of certificates issued by the CLA (the University Linguistic Centre) or by other accredited institutions (see “Students’ Manual”, p. 25).
PREREQUISITES: Students taking this exam must have already passed the exams of Spanish Language and Literature of the 2nd year.
Erasmus students should contact the teacher.
